Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to test Hull(1981)'s Self-Awareness Theory that alcohol intoxication reduces self-focused attention. Specifically, this study investigated the difference between the social threat and no-threat condition on self-focused attention under alcohol or placebo condition. The 45 students with social anxiety scores(SADS, FNE) in the higher 30%ile and alcohol expectancy scores(AEQ) in the higher 50%ile were randomly assigned to the alcohol or placebo groups and the social threat or no-threat groups. And they completed the Focus of Attention Questionnaire. At the result, there were no significant differences on the self-focused attention between the alcohol group and the placebo groups, contrary to Hull's theory. As expected, the social threat group showed significantly higher self-focused attention than no-threat group. This finding suggests that alcohol does not always reduce self-focused attention in socially anxious individuals. Finally, the clinical implications and limitations of present study were discussed.
